STAY COMPLIANT.
PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS

New laws and regulations mean greater responsibilities for employers, with higher risks and potentially serious consequences if you get things wrong. Keeping up with changing legislation, employment requirements and workplace responsibilities can be time-consuming and difficult to manage alongside the day-to-day running of your business.

We help you stay compliant, reduce risk and handle your responsibilities with confidence. From keeping policies and procedures up to date to providing practical HR support and guidance, we work with you to ensure your business is meeting its legal obligations while creating a positive, productive workplace.

Our approach is straightforward and tailored to your business. We take the complexity out of HR and employment compliance, giving you the support you need to protect your business, support your people and build a better workplace for everyone.

KEY CHANGES EMPLOYERS
NEED TO PREPARE FOR

UNFAIR
DISMISSAL
RIGHTS

Unfair dismissal rights

From 1 January 2027, employees will gain ordinary unfair dismissal protection after 6 months’ service, rather than two years. Employers will need to ensure probation, performance and dismissals are handled fairly and properly documented. The right HR processes can help reduce risk and protect your business.

STATUTORY
SICK PAY
CHANGES

Statutory sick pay changes

SSP becomes payable from day one of sickness absence, removing the previous three-day waiting period. This means employers may face increased costs and need to ensure their absence processes are up to date.

STRONGER
FLEXIBLE
WORKING RIGHTS

Flexible working rights

The right to request flexible working is now a day-one right. Employers must consider requests fairly and follow the correct process, making it important to have clear policies and procedures in place.

HARASSMENT
PREVENTION
DUTIES

Harassment prevention duties

Employers have a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. This means having clear policies, providing appropriate training and taking concerns seriously.

PARENTAL &
FAMILY LEAVE
CHANGES

Parental and family leave changes

Improved rights for parents and carers, including unpaid leave and stronger redundancy protection. Employers need to understand these rights and ensure their policies and procedures are kept up to date.

GREATER COMPLIANCE

More employer responsibilities

More obligations for employers mean more risk if you’re not prepared. Staying up to date with employment law and having the right policies and processes in place can help protect your business and reduce costly mistakes.
